I had Beauty Works 18 inch weft extensions fitted 3 weeks ago. They were amazing for 2 weeks but I'm having some problems now with breakage and the hair is starting to look strange. The hair feels very dry and without frequent brushing it has started to look like ropes. It's tangling easily and needs brushing frequently to look normal. They are quite long extensions (I fell in love and couldn't bare to have much taken off). To add insult to injury you can now see a noticeable difference between the texture of my own hair and the extensions. They were previously completely indistinguishable from my own naturally wavy hair.
I've been scrupulous with my aftercare: avoid SLS, plait before bedtime, argan oil daily, no brushing them when wet, no hairdryer, almond oil once a week, special soft brush, washing every other day/two days, no products except Kerstase elixir and pure argan oil and a small amount of batiste on my fringe and behind my ears as I'm quite greasy. I straightened them once with an Asavea brush last weekend. Could that have done this? The hair was dry and I used lots of heat protector.
Is there anything else I should be doing? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a problem with the extensions.
